SKIBINDING Filed May 12, 1936 /7 Gres vl g Patented Sept. 14, 1937UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

The present invention relates to skibindings of that kind which areprovided with adjustable toe irons in which the horizontal parts of thesame are covered by a cover and in which the toe 5 irons are kept onplace by suitable intersection of teeth in the. horizontal parts of thetoe irons with looking teeth in devices adapted to be fastened to theski.

The invention relates especially to skibindings of the stated kind inwhich the locking parts are enclosed by a cover and are arranged so asto admit an adjustment Without loosening the cover.

The purpose of the invention is to obtain a simple construction of thesaid kind which may be manufactured with small costs, is effective inuse, and may be manipulated easily.

The invention is illustrated in the attached drawing in which thebindings are shown with cover removed.

In the drawing l designates the bottom plate of the enclosure of theadjustment device.

In the drawing numerals l6 and H designate locking plates having teethcoacting with the teeth 6 in the horizontal parts of the toe-iron 2, 2.The teeth 6 have a special inclined form tending to complete theinterlocking, when the toe-irons are pulled outwards. The teeth 6 arearranged along a circular arch in order to make an angular adjustmentpossible. In order to secure the plates in looking engagement with thetoe-irons, a lever 18 is pivoted at 9 in the bottom plate I. One arm 2!!of the lever projects into a recess 2| in the locking plate l6 and theopposite arm has an operating piece 22. In the position shown, thetoe-irons are locked so that they cannot be moved. When the lever I8 isturned in the direction of the arrow X, the locking plate I6 is free andmay be moved outwards by means of the locking teeth when forcing thetoe-irons 2 toward each other. After adjustment the lever I8 is turnedback again so that the teeth on the looking plates enter again thespaces between the teeth in the toe irons so that further adjustment isprevented.

I claim:

1. In a skibinding device, divided toe-irons having vertical andhorizontal parts, a cover 10 covering the said horizontal parts, teetharranged along the horizontal parts of the toe-irons, looking plateshaving teeth coasting with the said teeth, a recess being arranged inone of the locking plates and a lever, one arm of which extends 15 intothe said recess and the opposite arm of which is provided with a fingerpiece for turning the same.

2. In a skibinding device. permitting transverse and angular adjustment,a flat base member, right 20 .and left toe-irons slidably mounted onsaid base member and provided with upright side flanges, inclined teethformed on an arcuate base line along the front and rear edges of saidtoe-irons, front and rear locking plates resting on said base 25 memberand provided with teeth corresponding With the inclined teeth of thetoe-irons but formed on a straight base line, and a two-armed lockinglever pivoted on said base member, one of said arms being adapted toengage with a recessed por- 30 tion of one of said locking plates, inorder to firmly secure the toe-irons and locking plates on said basemember, the other of said arms. having a finger-piece for turning saidlever to release said locking plates and toe-irons from locked 35position.
